Our Work

Urban Cycling Institute bridges cycling research and practice for actionable responses. 
Through our education programs, projects,
and collaborations, we offer vital resources and research for
urban planners, transport professionals, educators, policymakers, businesses, and community leaders across the globe.

Education

We deliver transformative education through various programs and formats to understand and rethink human scale, multi-modal mobility systems and governance.

Our philosophy of teaching and facilitation is rooted in experiential and inquiry-based learning, using the urban environment as a fundamental arena for experiencing and applying lessons.

Our educational workshops and training programs are highly interactive and  tailored to fit groups of students, professionals, and government officials.

Action Research

We conduct independent, open-access, cross-discipline and state-of-art research to understand how spatial and social complexities of cycling unfold. Our research adds value to society by directly engaging with and providing actions for urban planners, engineers, elected officials, non-profits and anyone involved in creating cities and spaces.

Current Projects

We partner with stakeholders for tailored research, data collection & training to improve projects and policy.

Past Projects

Sustainable Development Goals

The bicycle is a simple, affordable, reliable and environmentally friendly means of transportation. It is directly linked to achieving 11 of the 17 UN’s sustainable development goals. Creating cycle-friendly environments, and behavioural and cultural change is crucial for enabling cities to separate population growth from rising emissions, while also enhancing air quality, our health and road safety. Our work at the Urban Cycling Institute advances the myriad of impact cycling has on the SDG’s.
